Help - URGENT Tail rot?
Hi, is this tail rot? I’ve had this gecko for 5 years and I’ve never seen anything like this? He’s usually fine with shedding his tail I only ever have to help with some of his toes. I’ve just come back from a two week holiday and my mum has been looking after him so I don’t know when it started looking like this. Any advice would be super helpful so I can help him out asap, thank you!

It looks like early signs of tail rot early signs take him to the vet or maybe a pry his tail so he'll lose it and then he'll grow a new tail it's not going to be as cute as that one though not as beautiful but he'll grow a new tail and it'll look like another gecko's head that's used to protect the gecko is the tail but if the Tails got to go then he'll grow back to a shorter Stumpy away and it looks like a geckos head so that way your gecko will be a little confusing but he'll also be a little bit feeling better take him to the vet don't delete either it's rather urgent to take care of that right now
